Ozzie Guillen Out As White Sox Manager...Going To Marlins...(Cites Being Poor) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Come Tuesday morning, the silence on the South Side could be more deafening than golden.

Until then, Ozzie Guillen was going to spend his final days on the White Sox managerial post much like he came in to it – saying whatever he wants, wherever he wants, whenever he wants.

According to multiple sources, the Sox and Florida Marlins are in the final stages of completing a deal that will send the never-boring Guillen to South Beach, ending his eight-year stay with the organization he grew up in as a player and helped guide to a World Series in 2005 as a second-year manager.

The end is expected to become at the conclusion of Monday night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays at U.S. Cellular Field, sources said. Sources also said Guillen told his players before the game that it would be his last as Sox manager.

As far as the coaching staff, expect mass changes there, as well, all except pitching coach Don Cooper, who according to sources, already has a deal on the table to stay with the organization.

What Guillen would talk about on the record to reporters on Monday was that he indeed met with board chairman Jerry Reinsdorf earlier in the afternoon at the United Center, and “We talked about it for maybe 30, 35 minutes. I told Jerry to do this meeting back in Mexico because no matter where we do the meeting, people are going to talk and they’re going to put me in this situation we’re in right now. Yes we talked about it. We talked about different things, my future here, how we’re going to do it, what he thinks about the ballclub, what way we’re going. I left the meeting with nothing.’’

Guillen didn’t exactly slam the door on possibly returning for next season, but it was more bob and weave, almost leaving the ball back in Reinsdorf’s court.

“I just told him how I feel,’’ Guillen said. “I feel like I should be back here for more years. If not, well, you know how I feel. I don’t want to be here if that happens. That decision doesn’t have to be made. I’m still under the White Sox’ contract and we’ll see what happens.’’

“F--- more years. I want more money,’’ Guillen said. “I don’t work here for years. No, I want more money. Years, what, I’m going to die poor with the White Sox? Hell, no. Listen this is my job. It’s the only thing I can do. I have to make money out of somewhere. I’m not a doctor or a lawyer, where you’ll have a job for the rest of your life.

“Life is about money. People don’t believe that. People are happy after they make money, f--- it.’’

The idea of going to Florida was asked of Guillen, and he pointed out that he’s never said that he wanted to be traded to Florida.

Our Indians radio announcers were just talking about this tonight. Poor? POOR??? If his paycheck constitutes as poor, I'll gladly take it instead of pounding the pavement. What an ignoramous. Seriously, is there a muzzle big enough in the whole world to cover this guy's big mouth???

Schmoopie · 09-27-2011, 01:36 AM

I saw the interview he did on ESPN earlier tonight right after the Cowboys game. What a moron. I know nothing about the guy-except for his name, but the way he was swearing made him look like a complete idiot. And Monika I couldn't agree with you more!

Andrea, our broadcasters were talking during a pitching change during the Indians/Tigers game about the Guillen situation. The White Sox were in Cleveland last week for a 4-game series and he made some stupid comments there, too. Our broadcasters went on to say that they spoke to some of the White Sox people and it turns out that barely anyone in the organization can stand him. The feeling is that there will be no tears shed if he goes.

Poor? POOR?????? This is a guy who is taking his wife for a European vacation after the season is over. I'd love to see how he'd cope in the shoes of us peons who are looking for work, in danger of losing their jobs, trying to make ends meet, etc. It really, REALLY raises my hackles when these millionaires say garbage like that - and it shows how ignorant they really are.

P.S. Ozzie Guillen is supposedly a Christian - yet swears like a sailor every time he's near a microphone. Great witness, Ozzie.

I'm not surprised! He is from Venezuela and recently came out against actor Sean Penn for his support of Hugo Chavez. Way to go, Ozzie! I even took the White Sox off of the list of teams for which I have a passionate hatred because of his views!

I wish him luck down in Florida!

catlover79 · 04-10-2012, 08:49 AM

We're barely a week into the new season and Ozzie sure isn't making any friends with his comments about Fidel Castro. He's having a press conference today to do damage control (the Marlins are have an off day today). That...should be interesting!!!

TVFactFan · 04-11-2012, 01:25 AM

I hope I wake up tomorrow and find out he is fired. I hate his face and voice

LOL

Well, Sol, the Marlins (not MLB) suspended him for 5 games, which I assume is effective immediately. So hopefully he'll stay out of camera/microphone range!!!
